j METHOD or MAKING vAsEs.

Application filed September 18, 1919.

To all whom t may concern.'

Beit known that I,VMAx MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, andresiding at New York, in the county of Bronx and State .of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of MakingVases, of which the following is a speciication, such as will enablethose skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame. f j

This invention relates to the manufacture or making of vases andparticularly to devices of this class designed for outdoor use, or foruse in large buildings of any kind or class, and the invention consistsan improved method of making articles of the class specified, wherebysuch articles are formed from reinforced cement or concrete, waterproofmaterial and brick, and whereby such articles may be made strong anddurable and at a comparatively small cost and of any desired shape orconguration.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate partsof my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters ineach of the views and in which Figure l is a semi-sectional side view ofa vase made according to my invention; and,

Fig. 2 is a cross section thereof on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Y

In the practice of my invention I provide a central core a made of woodand consist ing of separate detachably connected parts indicated bydotted lines in Figs. l and 2, and the form or shape of said core willdetermine, as will be understood, the form or shape of the vase.

I also provide a wire mesh jacket or casing b, which is of the same formas the core a but which is of greater dimensions than said core, wherebya space o is formed between the wire mesh jacket or casing b and thecore, said space being of predetermined dimensions, and the core andwire mesh casing, the latter. being preferably of what is known asone-half inch mesh, are so spaced one within the other, this operationbeing performed by preferred way, that the transverse dimensions of thespace c may be regulated to any desired extent according to the size orwhich it is desired.

dimensions of the vase to make.

The next step in the process consists in Specification of LettersPatent.

filling the space o with cement or concrete, this operation beingperformed by working said cement or concrete throughV the jacket orcasing b' with a trowel or in any other suitable way until said space isentirely lilled with the cement or concrete, after which more lcement orconcrete is applied Yuntil the jacket or casing Z) is entirely coveredand inclosed thereby as shown in the drawing, and this method ofprocedure forms an inner body or base for the vase, which is composed ofreinforced concrete or cement, the reinforcement consisting of the wiremesh jacket or casing o which isentirely inclosed therein.

The next step in the process consists in covering the said reinforcedbody with waterproof material d of any suitable kind, and thiswaterproof material may form the bottom of the vase, or the central partthereof as shown in Fig. l; and after the main inner body portion ofreinforced concrete has kbeen covered by the waterproof material, theentire vaseis inclosed or provided with a finishing outer wall e,consisting of terra cotta or other bricks built up from the bottom asclearly shown in Fig. l, and as indicated in Fig. 2, the best kind ofcement being used in this operation, and as will be understood, theouter wall e of the vase may be composed of bricks of any desired shapeor form, or said outer wall may consist of inlay work of any kind orclass.

It will be understood, of course, that vases of any desired size, shapeor form may be made in this manner, and said vases may be made as strongand durable as necessary or desirable, and in the process of forming thevase herein described the jacket or casing b may lirst be provided andthe core ay placed therein, or said core may first be built up and thejacket or casing b placed therearound in any desired manner; and changesin and modifications of the details of the process herein described maybe made, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing fromthe spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. The process herein described of making vases which .consists inproviding a central core of wood consisting of separate detachablyconnected parts, providing a wire mesh jacket or casing in which saidcore is inclosed, said jacket or casing being of greater" dimensionsthan Said core and said. parts. ybeing so placed as to space betweenthem,. then illing in! said space with plastic cement 'Worked throughinclosing said vWire mesh jacket or casing in said cement, then applyingWaterproof material to the reinforced cement body thus formed,thenjinclosing said'body yand the Waterproof material in an outer Wallconsisting of brick vor inlay Work, and then re-` moving said core. l j

2. VThe process herein described of manufacturing vases andthe likewhich vconsists in providing a suitable core, inclosing` said corel in ajacket of openwork material Which is spaced from said core, `thenapplying ceform a continuons j ment to said .core and said jacket toiill the' Yspace between said jacket and core and to embed the jacket insaid cement, then ap- -Y plying a coating of Waterproof material to Vthestructure thus formed, then inclosing the Wire 4mesh jacket creasingandv entirely said structure with the Waterproof material thereon in abrick construction to form a complete vaseand then removing said corefrom the vase thus formed.

ln testimony that I'claim the foregoing as my invention I have signedmyname in presence of the subscribing Witnesses this 16th day 'ofSeptemberrl919. f
